Josh,
Do you think calling me a retard will cause the market to go down? I think you are in over your head buddy. At least it sure sounds like it from your last post.
For those wondering, I’m continuing to dollar-cost average into the SPY like I have been for the last few years. Dollar-cost averaging has worked for me so far and I imagine it will continue to work.
I’ve tried trading before. I’m not good at it. However, what I’ve found is that when you get predictions ahead of time from message board posters who claim to be good traders … well, you generally find out that they aren’t so good at it either.
Just look at Genius Josh’s last post for evidence. The guy is obviously hemorrhaging money and from the tone of his last post it sounds like he’s about to have a coronary. Sad.

April 18, 2008 at 2:30 PM #189869CoronitaParticipantFLU are you trying to make a point, or just being obtuse for the sake of posting?
1. Why do "self-proclaimed piggington professional daytraders" post how "smart" they are whenever the market goes in their direction for a day or two and profess what an idiot the other person doing the opposite direction is doing, only to hibernate the days after when the market goes opposite to their positions?
2. Why do "self-proclaimed piggington professional daytraders" that profess "what a killing" they made on the markets the days it moved their direction, less the "minor" losses they incurred on the days opposite to their positions, still yield a net "an ungodly killing" for their professed positions…and yet still gripe about being priced out of homes and home affordability?
I doubt anyone always consistently makes the right decisions all the time. Something just doesn't add up……

April 18, 2008 at 2:53 PM #189884kewpParticipantI sold my SKF @130. Bought it at 70 last year, so I’m good.
The ProShares Ultra ETF’s magnify any volatility in the market so they are not for the faint of heart; or something you want to hold onto forever.
There will *always* be bear market rallies. Thanks to all the cheap money from the Fed the hedgies have lots of liquidity to play with, so we are sure to see lots of short squeezes and commodity inflation as the market makers milk the herd. Especially since everyone and their brother is shorting the banks these days.
Gold will have up and down days as well, so any big drop I see as a buying opportunity.
